A short while ago Vicki Bustamante found a CATTLE EGRET on the side of Montauk Hwy Rt 27 just east of Bridgehampton (Suffolk Co.) and before Sagg Mains Rd. Not present now but there are a lot of grassy fields in area. Might eventually turn up among the cattle at Mecox Dairy, a popular spot for this species. Something to keep eye out for if you are in area.
